12. Life is gonna be REAL different
It's a good thing that you are so smart and have a good head on your shoulders...your DU pals will be there for you for all the changes...probably the best thing about an online community is you can take us with you everywhere you go.

31. my sister went to NYU
it was great visiting her there. What could be better than the heart of the Village? Although I remember the subway trains were pretty loud rumbling under her dorm.

Good luck to you!

8. Hi, LPFF!
Going off to college is a wonderful thing: scary, liberating, educational, all that stuff, and so much more....

You are really entering adulthood now...many decisions will be up to YOU...

I lived away from home for 3 out of the 4 years I was in college...and I loved it, and really grew for the first time in my life...

There were rules and regs...but basically I was on my own...and boy was I ready for that!

Grow, learn, explore...and have fun!

And let us know how it's going, OK?

:toast: :bounce: :bounce: :grouphug: :woohoo: :toast:

Most of my friends start this week, a few had orientations last week, but I think most start their classes Monday. I start classes the Monday after this one. :)

33. You'll love it!!
I'm going into my second year..I feel what you're saying about the stuff, thankfully I stayed here over the summer or else I would have had to leave alot of stuff behind and rebuy it (bulky inexpensive stuff..like bedding).

Best of luck, Maggie! :) Oh and I read you're going to NYU..I go to school in Long Island. I love New York City. :loveya:
